Re: Frost/Shade Query

this is a really strong point and I far as I understand the nature of Pale Fire, there is no definite prototype or models but politype and polimodels because John Shade (as a character) has been conceived mentally by Nabokov but put into paper maybe by Kinbote or maybe not. And I believe John Shade has some features (poetic) from VN himself, from Robert Frost, from Pushkin etc. but I don't think it is possible to set a line between them and taxonomy. Again, I think it is a great question.
Best regards, Vladimir Mylnikov

I understand Robert Frost was intended to be the model for John Francis Shade in Pale Fire, but I don't know why people have come to that conclusion. Any ideas? Thanks, Fran Assa
